Italian Flag bar

In the past, women have not had an easy life… They have always been considered inferior to men and have had to fight to have their rights recognized.

Yet despite this, there are some women in Italy who have managed to break the mould and have actually changed history! There may be only a few of them but we are going to talk about four of them who, if you ask me, truly deserve to be acknowledged.
